Export MEI using the Command Window

The MEI export mode can be used to export 3D geometric models from a DESIGN database into the STEP AP203 format.

To export a 3D geometric model into a STEP AP203 file, use the Export utility from within a Model module. To load the Export driver refer to Command Window for Exporting MEI.

Note:
Much of the non-geometric information is lost. It is not recommended to export and re-import, although this works for the geometry only.

Target Directory

Exported design data is written as a hierarchy of files to a given target directory. The created directory hierarchy replicates the database structure of the exported models.

To specify the name of the target directory, use the command:

EXPORT FILE directoryName

For example,

EXPORT FILE /c:\ExportedModels\Block1025

To query the name of the current target directory, use the command:

Q EXPORT FILE
